Oh shit.

 

[Wrestleman]

What a fucking joke lmao

 

[Deleted member 2625]

What the fuckity fuck?!?!

Judge better have a fucking explanation. You get more than that for dope

 

[Deleted member 2761]

For fuck's sake.

 

[Zeroro]

That's not a lot.

 

[Jarmel]

Pretty bullshit.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Are you surprised? :)

 

[poklane]

Judge said he lived an otherwise blameless life
fuck off

 

[h0tp0ck3t]

From 25 years to fucking 4. Jesus fucking christ

 

[LukeOP]

Why so low? Bank Fruad gets you nothing it seems like. Black men get more time for getting caught with weed.

Can we now say the Judge is a Trump supporter or will we be shouted down again?

 

[TheAbsolution]

Ugh, for fucks sake.

 

[Wafflinson]

Isn't this pretty much the expected amount? Why are people acting shocked?

 

[Netherscourge]

Only 4 years for all this shit?

 

[SasaBassa]

Soooo if this is the penalty... How does this deter ANYONE from tampering with your shit?

Racism and tribalism fucks you (your countrymen and people of power that is) guys up in so many ways, Jesus

 

[LProtagonist]

Rich people are allowed to do crimes.

 

[GalvoAg]

Not surprised, most likely wont even serve the full term.

 

[RailWays]

It's what money and corruption gets you. A slap on the wrist

 

[Swig]

Wow.. what the fuck.

 

[Noodle]

That's it? He committed crime after crime. He actively mislead investigators after agreeing to a plea deal. He continued to commit crimes after being arrested.

If he isn't worth throwing the book at, then who the fuck is?

 

[BriGuy]

That still leaves him plenty of his golden years to commit more crimes.

 

[Shard Shinjuku]

I guess nothing stops Berman from going the full monty next week.

 

[Casa]

Um. I thought that it was essentially a foregone conclusion that he'd likely spend the remainder of his life behind behind bars? That's fucking it!?

 

[Pooh]

Clown judge, clown ruling

It doesn't. White collar crime is goddamn amazing.

 

[Deleted member 50374]

If he goes to prison, he might not even survive it lol. Some magical stuff will appear in his tea soon enough

 

[Rampage]

Easy to be a generous man when your stealing money and not paying one's fair share. If you a white man, you don't have to follow the law.

This is bullshit.

And, we have a sentence, more than 15 years below the low end of the guidelines range.

7:02 PM - Mar 7, 2019

Manafort getting 47 months. What a departure from the minimum of 228 months that prosecutors had suggested.

7:00 PM - Mar 7, 2019

 

[stew]

Can the prosecutor appeal?

 

[SasaBassa]

It isn't even worth a pardon, seriously.

 

[asmith906]

He got a fucking slap on the wrist. This is what you can get if you're a rich white old man. Doubt he'll even serve 4 years. Treasonous old men can get away with literally anything.

 

[spookyduzt]

Are you fucking kidding me? Cohen got three and he squealed like a pig.

 

[Voyager]

Jesus, what a joke.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

Joke of a sentence. He better get much more next week, This judge was a clown.

 

[Panic Freak]

People get more time for drug offenses.

This should be in the OP.

 

[Starwing]

Even with next week's sentencing, I can't imagine people being too happy about this.

 

[BFIB]

Treasonous piece of shit.

 

[Commedieu]

uh...

oh well. Fuck all of this.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

People get longer sentences for weed

This.

 

[StarStorm]

Short of 4 years. What a joke.

 

[Shard Shinjuku]

Right, it should be noted that is still looking down the barrel of 10 years in DC and he might have to serve that after the other sentence.

 

[Lifendz]

Man, it's good to be white in America. Judge actually said Manafort has lived an otherwise blameless life. Fucking unreal.

 

[Deleted member 50498]

You get a lot more for dope. What a bullshit sentence.

 

[Deleted member 24907]

White collar crimes have joke sentences, always.

I bet some minority somewhere got three times this for being busted for some drugs down the street.

Honestly, this might help a good amount when talking about criminal justice reform. Good example to point to.

He was an innocent man, except for all those times he committed crimes

 

[Wag]

The guy committed crimes while he was in prison.

What a joke.
